Damn, just finished the first season of Hunter x Hunter and if I weren't watching it with friends I would have dropped it sooo fast. No matter how good this show gets (I know people love this anime) I will never forget the draining boredom I experienced. OOF.
Unless you really need to watch it (or are going through it with a friend) I think you're probably fine to stick with other stuff
I know I'll appreciate the context having watched it, but dang, taking this long to "get good" is not fun.
